I really like Amarok. Hark, the bloat cometh, and all that. Something about the layout is extremely easy and pleasing to use.

Amarok, for its many features, integration with KDE and the many variety of audio clips played.

Clementine!

I have been a fan of Amarok since KDE 3, and I'm among those who were frustrated with the KDE 4 version. I used it for some time - though I don't like the interface and its ram/cpu usage it has some nice features - but I was extremely frustrated with the fact that each new release tented to introduce more bugs than fixed, reaching its height when a release broke the smart playlists. By then Clementine was mature enough to become my main audio player - goodbye Amarok.

Of course there are other audio players that I've tried and I like, but Clementine is the one which comes closer to my needs.

I have been selling old computers from thrift-stores for years, pick them up for $20 sell them for $50-$150, I could not justify selling them if to old for video\modern-computing; so thank you VLC and Linux!

There doesn't appear to have been a mp3blaster release since 2009.

@jeremy, probably it is so But I had not any problems since I first time used it(in 2009 year) and use it now.

PSnetcat last released in the beginning of 2004 but it is still very useful program on modern systems)

Clementine bumps my jams, a more advanced EQ would be nice though. Nightingale (Basically SongBird ported to Linux) shows promise but has a ways to go, at least it did as of last summer. Maybe I should check it out again. I thought it was super obnoxious that Songbird plugins had to be ported to work.
